plus Super Steady Shot on the body

yes but I'd say its only a temporary advantage (if long term use is an issue here). Sony's lenses are more expensive than C & N's counterparts, even when the C & N lenses have IS/VR in some cases (which is anyway better than body IS;))

what so good about the in hardware DRO? reviews of it havent been impressed, and have mostly concluded that its simply better to do it in pp. we also have no idea of Sony's future plans, and whether they will offer a good upgrade path or just keep releasing budget model after budget model. then of course, there is the issue with lens prices which wipe out any cost advantage of the body if u wish to get more glass anyway. have u seen the price of the 70-200 2.8 SSM? its about USD 2.4k! The Nikon equivalent, is around USD 1.8k WITH VR at that. i'm not dissing Sony, and they may well get their act together in the future but I wouldnt want to investing in their system at the moment, unless i have cash to spare. smile.gif
